For my first post, I want to focus on a favorite of mine: the Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
A short drive north of San Diego in La Jolla, CA, the Birch Aquarium has a small but worthwhile collection. Due to its location, it tends to be less crowded (and cheaper) than Sea World. Highlights include dive shows and animal feedings in the 2-story 70,000 gallon tank. Don't miss the tide pools outside (along with a great view of the coast) where you can touch sea stars, hermit crabs, sea cucumbers and more with help from the aquarium's knowledgable staff.
Admission:
Adult - $11
Youth (3-17) - $7.50
2 yrs. & under - Free
Hours:
